Range Anxiety
One of the most common complaints with early EV models was the lack of range. You just couldn’t take an EV out for a long road trip because the range just wasn’t there. That’s changed dramatically these days and the range of modern EVs is comparable to gasoline-powered cars (via Green Cars).
The great thing about California pushing the change for electric vehicles is the fact that most California cities have lots of charging stations. With closer access to charging stations most EV drivers will have less anxiety about driving or making a trip.
